Domain Names

What is it?

A domain name is, in the simplest sense the name you reserve (rent) that identifies your business online. For example, if your business was selling Widgets in Devon you might register www.devonwidgets.com and have e-mail addresses like sales@devonwidgets.com - in this case "devonwidgets.com" is your domain name.

Buying a domain name has helped improve the professional look of my business - people treat me more seriously since I have an e-mail address and web site on a domain and not just using a free hotmail account.

Why buy a Domain Name?

Give yourself a professional identity online - make it easier for people to find and remember you online

Be free of your broadband provider - since your e-mail and domain are yours you can move provider if you need to at any time - your e-mail is unaffected

Create sites for special products - you can have domain names for many purposes - so key products could have a unique domain name and web site

Protect your brand - if you've spent years creating a brand identity, reserve the brand by buying all of the domain names that relate to it

Make it harder to be impersonated - by using your domain name with e-mail and web hosting rather than "free" providers or "home" e-mail accounts
